— Ace Hmmmm...
In case you had any doubt, yeah, he likes being a dickbag towards "Tea Baggers" at rallies.
I am "hmmm..."-ing this because I'm not prepared to go as far as Gateway Pundit; there is smoke, but not solid evidence of fire.
It is interesting, though.
The media is once again is embargoing stories that undercut their beloved Narrative, that the Tea Party is a clear and present danger to democracy itself, and no one on the left, apparently, ever says a single out-of-line thing or behaves in a violent manner.
For example, check out this Angry White Man cursing out an elderly Holocaust survivor at a Ground Zero Mosque protest.
One of his fellow lefties attempts to restrain him in his hate, and he unabashedly continues, vowing no one has the right to "censor" him.
Will the real face of leftism be revealed? Of course not.
Note his final bon mot regarding the Holocaust survivor -- "Obviously he didn't learn his lesson."
Now, it's not quite fair to say that he's saying Jews should have "learned their lesson" from the Holocaust to remain "in their place." The full quote makes it (reasonably) clear that he means that Jews first and foremost should be concerned about "tolerance" for a religious minority. (I put "tolerance" in quotes; this is his thought, not mine.)
And yet... Is this not, let us say, a touch insensitive? To declare a Holocaust survivor should have "learned his lesson" from the Holocaust?
Particularly since maybe he did "learn his lesson," eh? The lesson of "Never Again"?
And a Jew certainly has reason to be concerned about an Imam who hobnobs with foreign clerics and apparently supports Hamas. As was noted when Mohammad Abbas was revealed to be a Holocaust denier, one commentator said that for Palestine, that did make him a moderate.
See, she said, the awful truth is that in Palestine, if you deny the Holocaust you're a "moderate."
If you're a non-moderate you admit the Holocaust... and endorse it.
Just seems strange to me that we have an awful lot of lefties saying some decidedly angry, insensitive things, but it's only the right that apparently has the standard put upon them that at all times they must speak as measuredly and softly as Jean Luc Picard at a performance of The Mikado.
And this other guy...? This "Ripper McCord"? He's an unperson; the story is an unfact.
MinTruth stylebook guidance is that political-oriented violence can only be committed by the Tea Party/racist right and if it wasn't committed by the Tea Party/racist right then it wasn't committed at all.
And oh, by the way, the guy who flew his plane into the IRS building was an "anti-government" rightwinger, and you know he's a rightwinger because his suicide note contained a condemnation of capitalism and a paean to communism.
And oh, by the way, at a "Peace" rally in 2005 Cindy Sheehan declared "The enemy is the government!" and I don't remember anyone in the MFM being terribly upset by the implications of such an anti-democratic, hateful, violence-charged utterance. And she has, as the MFM decided, "Absolute Moral Authority," so if she says the enemy is the government, then by God, the enemy is he government.

Yeah. But there's a risk of ace developing "A Beautiful Mind" syndrome where he goes off the deep end, starts cutting out clips, finding stories where none exist, writing everything up, stuffing it in a manilla envelope, and dropping it off at his handler's dropbox/55 gallon drum.
or something.

Shit, ace, the government was the problem in 2005. Bush, y'know. Government is only good when it pursues an America-hating, leftwing agenda bent on making us all Kenyans and Indonesians now.
I hope the November elections will at least begin to erode these treasonous bastards' power, but I have my doubts. They're pretty well entrenched.
The "real face of leftism" is easy to see, and makes itself all too clear. People don't want to see it, and therein lies the problem.

It's the crossing of the streams: Obama and his faction are too radically Left for Republicans, independents and conservative Democrats, and not radically Left enough for Progressives. I wonder who remains in his base, the 25% in the Rasmussen poll who Strongly Approve of him.
Not Dave Letterman (via Hot Air).

I guess the Leftards believe, "If you can't find an actual anti-Muslim backlash, go out and make one of your own."
Sad that this character appears to be an Army vet who served recently in Afghanistan. I am sure the Left will try to weasel out of their association with him by claiming he has PSTD.

Yes, but imperfectly. The Reagan Democrats emerged at the end of Jimmy Carter's first term and were attracted to Reagan as much as they were repelled by Carter. We're seeing Democrats being driven this time purely by repulsion for Obama -- maybe a little like their distaste for Clinton in 1994, after he had been elected as a moderate but then governed as a Leftie.
If I were looking for a figure to parallel Reagan, I might look at Sarah Palin, who like Reagan is "too Right-wing" for the Brooks Brothers faction of the Republican Party, but who has a genuine appeal to regular people.

That's what I was thinking, especially with the guy stabbing the cabbie. I mean, I could almost understand (not agree with, just understand) his thinking about "the good of the many outweighing the good of one Muslim cabbie." But to give up his whole future on an attempted murder charge? What the hell is wrong with these people?

Considering that Leftists world wide have killed WAY, WAY more folks than the Nazis did, or even dreamed of, I'd say this is a pretty reasonable question. The only thing holding back the hard core Lefties is fear of retribution. They would have very little moral resistance to the idea of killing anybody on the Right, and that includes the children. Irrational hate+unjustified self righteousness+delusions of grandeur = violent whacko.

This worked well for them then....but now.I think as our economy/healthcare/jobs, etc. and foreign policy slide further down the toilet the MFM and the left's cries of "Racist" etc. will be their own downfall.
They hitched their wagon onto what they thought would be the new Messiah and have gotten only a incompetent, empty, ever-vacationing ass-clown. When the mask came off it hit the ground hard - their Messiah can't even lie well anymore.

What's disturbing to me is that for every violent wacko there are a few more who would look the other way. I've seen it with co-workers.
Once when I mentioned that a county road project was to go through a mobile home community across from my church, one of my lib co-workers said sarcastically, "Oh darn," as if to say, "Fuck 'em, they're worthless anyway."
That attitude is frightening and needs to be watched closely.

HotAir (run by Michelle Malkin) never liked John McCain. They also dislike Sarah Palin very much, though they know Palin threads are trool bait that bring comment bonanzas. Really, HotAir is pushing for Mitt Romney, Mitch Daniels, Mark Sanford, Tim Pawlenty, Bobby Jindal, John Thune, etc. Don't have the slightest idea how Murkowski, who thinks the federal government should subsidize abortions, is a fiscal conservative. I can't believe Christian conservative libertarian Ed Morissey would defend that.
